Civitas Senior Living Announces Development Plans for Dripping Springs / Southwest Austin

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Civitas Senior Living, LLC will begin construction for, Ledgestone Senior Living, a Senior Lifestyle Apartment Community that offers Independent and Assisted Living Apartments along with a Memory Care Cottage.  Construction is set to begin in June of 2015. This development will be the seventh property in the company's expanding portfolio.

Trepex Construction Inc. was founded by Brent Hammond, a local resident of the Dripping Springs area.  Hammond, who has extensive civil engineering skills across a variety of disciplines, will lead the construction team.  Trepex Construction's commitment to customer service demonstrates their high level of excellence and was the ideal partner for Civitas' latest development. The building plans include 120 Independent Senior Lifestyle Apartments, approximately 60 Assisted Living Studio Suites and One-Bedroom Units, and 10 Private and Semi-Private Memory Care Units.

Ledgestone Senior Living amenities will include a pool, gym, spa, wellness center, walking trails, club house, and elegantly landscaped grounds.  The Independent Senior Apartments will have balconies, island kitchens, and multiple floor plans including 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom units with walk-in closets.  Social clubs and activities will be designed for the active senior's interest.

Ledgestone Senior Living will be owned and managed by Civitas under the leadership of Wayne and Misti Powell. Together, this management team has more than 20 years of experience operating senior living communities in Texas. Because Ledgestone Senior Living will be privately owned, management can focus on meeting the needs of the residents of their community rather than the demands of shareholders.  Our goal is to create a warm, caring environment with all the comforts of home–because it truly feels like home.

"Our small company platform allows us to provide large company services with the attention to detail of a local owner," said Wayne Powell, President of Civitas Senior Living.

In addition to Ledgestone Senior Living, Civitas Senior Living operates, Cambridge Court Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Mesquite, TX, Autumn Wind Assisted Living in Winnsboro, TX,  Aria Memory Care in Cedar Park, TX and Midtowne Assisted Living and Memory Care in Midlothian, TX.  Future growth includes projects in Burleson, Flower Mound, and Allen.
